I know what you mean. I've been turning over in my head what I'd do if I was laid-off or made redundant and couldn't find another job in North Carolina. It'd be awfully difficult to start over in a brand-new location. I've got friends and relatives in a lot of places here in the US, Canada and the UK, but I'd hate to leave all the friends I've made here in Winston-Salem.

With my new job, we can bring in enough to fly to Austin or Charlotte. I was rear-ended last week end and met the claims adjuster today. He turns out to be in my AA group. I would be real hard pressed to ever develop a network in Austin like I have here in Memphis. Bobby
